Neymar penalty seals gold for hosts _ Rio 2016 Olympic Games

The joint leading goal scorer in this tournament with six goals, five of them against Fiji and a goal against Nigeria in the semi-final. Nils Petersen of Freiburg, one of the average players for Germany, steps up. Denied by... If there were one... Completely off now. The Atlético Paranaense goalkeeper, Wiverton. Such surprise, such joy at being called up for this Brazil Olympic squad. Coming in to replace Fernando Pras at last minute, who fractured his elbow on the eve of the tournament. Has just set it up perfectly for Neymar to confirm Brazil's first Olympic gold medal. Is it to be? He wrote his name in the history books for the quickest ever Olympic goal in the semi-final. After the Wiverton save, he's gifted Neymar the opportunity to conclude it here. Neymar of Barcelona, of Brazil, gives Brazil their first ever Olympic gold medal. Such delight, sheer joy and the pain of the 7-1 loss to Germany at the World Cup forgotten. There is gloss now in Brazilian football once more. The only piece of silverware missing from Brazil's enormous, exceptional, extended trophy cabinet was the Olympic gold medal. They have now secured that. And there is relief and joy and celebration. It's a carnival in the Maracanã.
